I don't know what is wrong with Saskatoon office. No test invite and my file went in process since Oct 24. No activity since then. I called the call center and they said every thing is in order.

Took test today, and passed (no DM yet on ECAS, as it was just today).
Just an FYI for applicants who may have travelled a great deal: the interviewer found 4 trips that I missed on the CRS calculator. I had so many trips in the past 6 years that I simply missed a few from the earlier years. The interviewer asked me to complete a secondary form with those 4 missing trips and I had to quickly figure out where I went and why for those 4 dates. I was able to do it, but it was stressful! Just a heads up.

How did he do that? Did you see if he had entrances and exits records? How close did he look at each stamp?

He had a CBSA record for all of my trips during the six years , so it was easy for him to see any missed trips. All of my information checked out from the CBSA record to the CRS calculator except the 4 trips that I had missed putting on the CRS calculator. I wasn't clear on the stamp issue; he leafed through my passport and kind of "spot checked" a few of them against my CRS calculator.
Hope this is helpful information!

  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 5, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on October 24, 2017.
Hi just wanna ask what's the status of your application? I'm also from Winnipeg and with family application. Still no test invites..

Good info, and applicable to my case as well. I would be surprised if I did not miss at least one or two trips from 5+ years ago. Thanks for sharing.
